The man said someone smashed the rear cab window of his truck parked in the 2400 block of Southeast 20th Street.

The woman said the argument started after their young child entered the husband’s workspace and he asked her to remove him.
The husband, 42, denied saying he would knock his wife’s teeth out, saying, “I will not speak ill of my wife, but she is lying.” Police made sure the man understood domestic violence laws and provided the woman the proper resources in case another incident occurs.
